Waxing Moon Humidor Thread - Page 7

WaxingMoon · 12-25-2010, 09:02 AM

Merry Christmas Everybody!

As you can see.... pretty busy in the Waxing Moon shop..... A bunch of humis in various stages sitting on the bench at the moment...

To highlight a couple.... Here is a Quilted Maple & Walnut.... This thing is huge... 34" x 13" x 10 and should be good for about 650 cigars... The quilted maple will pop significantly when oiled.

And here is a Macassar Ebony & Gabon Ebony humidor... 18" x 14" x 8"... I can't wait for this thing to come together...

And.... I just have to show this Walnut lid.... look at that curl.... It's framed up with Wenge.... The bottom picture has mineral spirits wiped on to give an idea of what it will look like when finished....

Coming Soon.....

Thinking about putting out a "down & dirty" humidor with a great seal.... Modelled after the all too familiar foot locker.... Build it, line it... and trim it out.... What do ya'all think?

Looks like an awesome idea!

Absolutely loving your work, Ed. Keep on building!!!

Ranger_B · 12-25-2010, 12:16 PM

That walnut looks great. I love when you get a peek of what the wood will show you when you are done.

Chingas · 12-25-2010, 12:48 PM

Couldn't agree more. Eds work is beautiful. Merry Christmas Ed! Take a day off from the shop and relax!

I think the footlocker-style humidor is a terrific idea.

jjmitchem · 12-29-2010, 02:38 AM

I agree on the Footlocker Humi - We could use a good military commemorative humidor!!

Zeuceone · 12-29-2010, 03:45 AM

Incredible work.

WaxingMoon · 01-02-2011, 02:18 PM

Pretty good couple of days in the shop.... wish I could have had more time, but.... still enjoyed every minute of it....

I'll start out with Matador's.... I know he's been waiting. I have the lid put together and she's lined... still have to do the hinge work and stuff... and build out the trays... and Sand, Sand Sand.... I can't wait to oil up that quilted maple.... as it will really pop!

Next up is a sweet Figured Cherry & Walnut.... glass top. She's a humidor as well. Just gotta do the interior trays and clean her up and she'll be out the door...

Zebrawood & Walnut..... I have the glass - ready to install.... she's lined and almost ready... I'll get the glass put in tomorrow...

Teak & Walnut.... waiting on some hardware...

Goncalo Alves & Ebony.... Just getting started on this one...

I have one more on the bench that I'm waiting for glue to dry... and then I'm going to bevel the lid... I'll post that in about 1/2 hour.... you'll like it..

Zeuceone · 01-02-2011, 03:40 PM

that ebony on ebony is sweet.

01-02-2011, 07:12 PM

I love ebony and the ebony on ebony is great. can't wait to see it finished.

WaxingMoon · 01-07-2011, 05:45 AM

It's been pretty busy down in the shop... there is a lot more to show than what I am showing here.... I should have a few humidors coming off the bench over the weekend.... and I will make sure I have time to take some good pictures....

Here's a couple pictures that I took last night... I just ran out of time to get pictures of some of the other stuff.....

Zebrawood & Walnut.... just about ready. Need to oil her up and polish... clean her up and she'll be out the door....

I lined the Ebony.... just need to do some tray work and sand...sand...sand.. oil & polish...

And then there's the vino trays....` or, I guess I should say Edgestar...

More later....
